Celebrate Canadian Rivers Day at a Paddler's Breakfast

The
second Sunday in June is Canadian Rivers Day – and the St Croix International
Waterway Commission wants you to come out and enjoy our local Canadian Heritage
River.

This year, the SCIWC will be at
the public boat launch in St. Croix, NB on Saturday to greet you as you begin
your journey down the St. Croix. Take part in our paddler’s breakfast on
Saturday, June 8, from 7:30 AM to 10 AM. Sip a hot coffee as you speak to our staff about the unique
heritage of the St. Croix. It’s a great chance to learn about the names of
rapids and campsites, how to leave no trace of your travel and learn how the
SCIWC maintains and manages river resources. We’ll also be handing out garbage
bags and asking paddlers to clean up along the way. Enter our draw to win one of our Paddler's Prizes! Come on out, whatever the
weather, and paddle one of Canada’s finest rivers!

Canadian Rivers Day was
established in 2002. It is celebrated on the second Sunday in June, with the
purpose of raising awareness of Canada’s amazing river systems. The event
promotes public appreciation, responsible use, and conservation of their
waterways. For more information about the Canadian Heritage River System
program, visit www.chrs.ca.
